SIU representatives said a "substantial majority" of the drivers had signed pledge cards indicating they wanted the Seafarers as their bargaining agent.

The pledge cards and a petition for a representation election were de i with Thomas Roumell, regional director of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). UNDER NLRB rules, an election will be scheduled if an investigation shows it was requested by 30 per cent of the men in the bargaining unit. Roumell said an election date would not be set for at least 30 days. Local chairman of the organizing drive is Frank Kurty, 54, of 1426 Michigan, a cabbie for 32 years. 'Checker drivers don't want any part of the Teamsters Union," he said.

"If they enter the case it is solely as an intervener to our petition and not because they have any support among the drivers. "We don't want this campaign to become a fight with the Teamsters. We suggest It," he said. "I came to the conclusion through my reading of the Sripture that we are not supposed to eat blood or take it any other way. "If I didn't survive, I had hopes for the afterward." A Jehovah's Witness for three years, Hampton is a bachelor.

In refusing the transfusion he speaks only for himself, Hampton said, and not for his Church. "I don't know about the other fellow," he said. "Or what he would do. I only know about myself." The clouds are faint, luminous and high, occur at night and are of unknown origin. The Space Agency and Swedish Committee on Space Research said the launching will be from Sweden's Vidsel Range.

Kurty said the Teamsters, who now represent Radio Cab Co. drivers, have been trying to sign up Checker drivers.

The local SIU campaign is being assisted by Everett Clark and Louis Smith, former Chicago cabbies, who were leaders last year in a revolt against Joey Glimco, boss of the Teamster cab local there. SOME 6,000 Yellow and Checker Cab drivers in Chicago voted to pull out of the Teamsters and after a brief period as independents, joined the SIU.

There Is nothing so unusual about all that except Mrs. Ernest is 80 and still active in politics. At Tuesday's shindig, Mrs. Ernest (everyone in Wyandotte calls her was dubbed the Grand Dame of the Grand Old Party. After the roast beef dinner, there were lots of lots of laughts, lots of applause and a few tears.

The several hundred guests gave Mrs. Ernest a gold watch and a standing ovation. After a few minutes, when she had swallowed the lump in her throat, she said, "You pulled a real Ralph Edwards on me." The testimonial was a complete surprise to her. She thought she was going to attend a routine GOP dinner. "THIS IS the first time something has been cooking in the 16th Congressional Republican District that 1 didn't know about," she quipped.

It probably will be the last time because Mrs. Ernest, who lives at 415 Cherry, Wyandotte, has been a 16th District board member "for years."

Kurty said the local organizing drive was spurred by a change in pay schedules which cut from $3 to $8 a week from cab drivers' pay several months ago. The weekly average now Is $50, he said.

In addition, he said, drivers want representation on a trial board which governs their behavior. They also want seniority protection for veteran drivers.
